The Columbia County News-Times has a Christmas tree in our lobby, but we need ornaments. We’re looking for individual photos – wallet-sized school photos are fine – of smiling Columbia County children to decorate our tree. We’ll publish the photos as ornaments on a printed “tree” in our Christmas day issue, and one child will be chosen to be the “star” of the tree.
